I've always been pretty good at it and wondered it that was why...

She can fit our car into the tightest spaces with ease.

Ironically, she's not very good at front-end-in-first parking!

Or block a driveway
Also, there are no street signs. No 1st St. signs.
WAZE may be able to find it on Calle 1 but you can’t find 1,2or 10.

Finally, there are no addresses:

Ours is something like:

In the Lake View barrio 600 meters beyond the Rio Grande bus stop On the right, Casa 2, property 2.
